USA - A Cavity in Medicaid Dental Coverage

A Cavity in Medicaid Dental Coverage
Access to Dentists Remains Problem for Low-Income Children on Public Insurance
The Washington Independent: "Not even a third of the nation’s lowest-income children receive dental care, and Congress isn’t doing a thing about it.

Although Medicaid, the federal-state partnership covering America’s poorest kids, provides dental coverage for all children enrolled in the program, it’s a phantom benefit for most: roughly 12.6 million kids, or 66 percent, don’t get dental care at all."
